The skin sizzled as it was burned, and many people turned around to look at the scene, casting strange glances at Chen Mingde.

Chen An also felt there was no need to do this, but the other party was incredibly fast, giving her no chance to stop him. Just as she was about to give Chen Mingde some items from the system for self-defense, an unpleasant voice came from behind.

“Junior Sister Chen’an, this is not right. Servants are nothing but oppressive things. What you are doing is against the natural order and morality. Not to mention me, no one else would agree to this.”

Qingyue looked completely innocent, and her appearance of upholding justice was truly admirable. It has to be said that her acting skills have become better and better since she joined the sect.

Chen An felt that what this green tea girl said made sense, but her eyes and tone were not about upholding justice, but clearly about stirring up trouble.

Her voice was gentle, yet she made sure everyone present heard it. Yin Yin still had that disgusting expression on his face; it was an outrage against nature.

Sure enough, many cultivators began to walk this way, their eyes full of disdain, and they also started to verbally attack each other. Even the most vulgar and offensive words made the dogs shake their heads.

Chen An criticized everything about her, from how she conducts herself to her morals and ethics. It's unclear whether she was venting her frustrations about life.

Mu Jingtai was extremely protective of his own. Although he didn't approve of Chen An's practice of taking in servants, how could he tolerate someone daring to bully his junior sister in front of him?

He glanced at Qingyue, who took a few steps back in fright at his gaze and obediently shut her mouth.

The clamoring crowd didn't tolerate him; most of them didn't know Mu Jingtai, only that he had high cultivation.

Moreover, we also have three or four cultivators at the Two Elements Realm on our side. If a real fight breaks out, we definitely won't lose.

Thinking of this, they not only continued to curse, but also started to walk forward, their fierce expressions making it seem as if they wanted to skin Chen An alive.

Mu Jingtai had reached his limit. He snorted coldly, locked onto the shortest man in the crowd who was shouting the loudest, kicked him away, jumped to where he landed, grabbed his collar, pulled him up, and unleashed a flurry of satisfying punches on the man's face.

The cultivator, his face bruised and swollen, was still reeling. After catching the final punch with his nose, he lay flat on the ground. He was alive, and his cultivation hadn't been destroyed, but healing his injuries would be difficult.

This scene frightened away many high-level cultivators, who then hid in the crowd and entered the secret realm.

But the other side had the upper hand in numbers, so even though they didn't dare to shout, they didn't leave and kept whispering among themselves.

Chen An, who had been silent all along, turned to look at the mob. Just one sentence was enough to elicit such a strong reaction from them. The female lead was indeed the female lead; it wouldn't be easy for others to do something like that.

She understood everything after reading only the three men's hearts; these people weren't trying to uphold justice at all, but were purely driven by jealousy.

She glanced at the crowd, then summoned her ebony sword and held it in her hand: "If it's for upholding justice, I, Chen An, respect you. But aren't you all thinking about why you can't get servants?"

“You hypocrites, all trying to bully the few by outnumbering the many, don’t you even know your own limitations? If you want to fight, come at me now, I’m not afraid of you.”

Upon hearing this, those who were already driven by self-interest and wanted others to take the lead were all too afraid to act, and they all lowered their heads and dared not utter a word.

Seeing this, Chen An looked at Qing Yue: "You came with me, you could have stopped us long ago if you wanted to. Why did you wait until the ceremony was over before letting everyone know?"

"Even those who cultivate immortality should uphold morality. How can someone who is disloyal to their friends cause such a huge uproar with just a few words? I wonder what those who believed you are thinking. What do you take them for?"

That's clear enough. Those people are just sticking their necks out, cannon fodder. It would be impolite not to leave now.

Some people in the crowd began to retreat, and following this precedent, many others followed him and started walking into the secret realm.

Qingyue sensed something was wrong and turned to follow the crowd. Chen An couldn't stand being treated like this.

It was one thing for her to be weak before, but now she's been tricked by you for no reason. She's not stupid.

Chen An grabbed Qing Yue's wrist, making her turn to look at him, and calmly asked, "Give me an explanation."

Qingyue's face was ashen. The cultivators she had instigated had mostly left, and it was impossible for her to deal with Chen An and the three people behind him.

After hesitating for a long time, she looked at Shen Qinghe: "Brother Qinghe, you know that it's wrong to take in servants. Look at Sister Chen'an, she did something wrong but didn't let anyone say anything. I just want to help him." She pointed at Chen Mingde.

Shen Qinghe shook her head: "I really should stay away from those green tea bitches. I could never betray a friend. It's really unlucky to come out with you. If you ask me, why bother with her life or death? You're too kind, Chen An."

Hearing this, Chen An felt a little embarrassed, but since the other party thought so, she didn't deny it.

Qingyue glanced around and saw that there were still fifty or sixty people who hadn't left. She began to retreat hesitantly, while continuing to provoke, "I'm just upholding justice, what do you need me to explain?"

"What a fine way to uphold justice!" Before Chen An could finish his sarcastic remark, Chen Mingde shouted and stood up.

"Damn it, when I was being betrayed, nobody saved me. Someone saved my life, and I'm willing to be their servant. Do I need you to uphold justice? Do I need you to uphold justice?"

After yelling at Qingyue, he glanced at each of the remaining people.

After learning that Chen Mingde was doing this to repay a debt of gratitude, those people left on their own.

On the entire high platform, only five people remained. Qingyue took one last look at Shen Qinghe, and seeing how disgusting he was, she simply stopped pretending.

She flung Chen An's hand away and shouted, "That's just who I am, so what can you do about it? Kill me?"

"I'll satisfy you sooner or later, don't rush," Chen An said with a smile, glancing at her.

That smile sent a chill down Mu Jingtai's spine, even though he was at the Two Elements Realm. He shook his head, reaffirming his determination to maintain a good relationship with Chen An.

Qingyue rolled her eyes at Chen An before turning and leaving.

Before collaborating with Qingyue, the female lead, Chen An had planned to make a fortune by working with her. Although they had fallen out, he figured following her wouldn't be a mistake.

"Keep up with her, don't let anything happen to her, we'll have a hard time explaining it to her."

Chen An was the first to grab Qing Yue's clothes. Mu Jingtai and Wu Siyue had spent a lot of time with Chen An and knew that following Chen An's advice would not go wrong, so they silently took turns grabbing the clothes of the person in front of them.

Whenever Shen Qinghe saw Qingyue, all she could think of was that scheming green tea bitch. She hurriedly shouted, "Don't be with her! You guys are crazy to think you can protect such a treacherous person like her."

Chen An, flashing a standard eight-tooth smile, looked at Shen Qinghe and said, "Because I'm kind."

"Come on, hurry up and keep up. I'll protect you if anything happens." Wu Siyue grabbed Shen Qinghe.

Qingyue was speechless, but no matter what, she couldn't escape Chen An, so she could only let her have her way.
